Llama Llama and His Mama

Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday, May 12th. There are so many wonderful picture books that depict a mother and child relationship. Some of my favorite books about that special bond are the Llama Llama series by Anna Dewdney. Little Llama Llama is just like any other kid. Sometimes he gets scared at night, or throws a tantrum at the store, or he just doesn’t feel very well. Lucky for him, he always has his Mama around to love him no matter what. Toddlers and preschoolers love these books and they are perfect for reading at night while cuddling with your own little llamas.

At bedtime, a little llama worries after his mother puts him to bed and goes downstairs.

A young llama wants to play but must go shopping with his mother instead, so he gets angry and makes a mess at the store.

Llama Llama experiences separation anxiety on his first day of nursery school.

Llama Llama becomes overwhelmed as Christmas preparations progress, until his mother reminds him of the real gift the holiday brings.

Llama Llama doesn't want to share his toys with his new neighbors. But when fighting leads to broken toys and tears, Llama learns that it's better to share.
